Need to buy used integrated about 800 dollars
Sounds like you might need some professional gear.Just a thought. 
BAT or Cary Pre with BAT VK-55?
I would think the BAT-BAT pairing would work out quite nice,but I have no idea if you would like it. 
Core amp stands--load bearing capacity
You didn't know the load capacity before you set the amps on them? If you have exceeded the capacity,you have no recourse with the manufacturer.Sorry to sound so negative but that's just the way it is.

Small 4 Speaker System for Ceiling Corners?
Magnepan-ish?I don't think so.

I know what you mean about the snobby attitudes at audio stores.They cry about business being so bad yet they still treat customers like crap.I don't get it.Keep in mind,all stores aren't like this.I also know what you mean about not having a stor... 
Best Speakers new/used for around 2k
Asking someone else to choose speakers for you is not a good idea.What Joe Blow likes might not work for you at all.You say that you've heard most of the ones on your list.What do you like?If possible listen to some of your favorites with your sys... 
Got any wonderful but unlikely pairings?
